Thanks for you input. I would certainly want to insulate the building as i wouldn't want to play snooker in the cold in the winter and wouldn't want heating costs to be extortionate. I would need to keep it above say 10deg c at all times to avoid damage to the table. so i would probably aim to...

No i shouldnt need planning. I will stay below the 2.5m height and it is less than 50% of the garden

I am planning to build a snooker room at the bottom of the garden. The plan is to build this as a glorified shed but due to the size will need to meet builing regs. The building will be about 8m x 5m internal area so will exceed the 30sqm limit, and i also hope to build it closer than 1m to my...

Just bought a Stovax studio 1 log burner cassette. The instructions provide all the useless information like how to take it out the box, remove the packaging etc, but when it comes to fixing the cassette in place it simply says use M8 bolts. There are no holes predrilled or bolts provided etc...

Thanks. What is that?

I have recently had my kitchen plastered and when it dried out it has identified a leak in the central heating system in the loft above. I have fixed this but after a week of dripping it has left a rusty ring marks on the ceiling. Question is, before I emulsion the ceiling is there any kind of...

I want to put a door on my utility room from the kitchen but want it to me flush with the wall. I intend to then wall paper the wall with a digital photo and want to paper the door also. I have seen images of this done but not sure of the construction. Normally for a door a wall would obviously...

Thanks guys. It's not a crimp system but all the fittings for the underfloor heating that it came with are compression. I won't use it as it sounds like it isn't recommended. Thanks again.
